The Cycling Photogra

Guest

Now look here, we Guv’nor owners/riders take our own and bicycle’s appearance very seriously.

However, I think I may have gone a little too far: In order to enter fully into the

spirit of the forthcoming Tweed Run in London, I decided to encourage a little growth

on my top lip. Going well after just a week. Problem. Whilst I will probably look very

dashing in my usual country attire and new appendage, I have noticed my better half’s

reluctance to, how should I say, get intimate.

Dear fellow riders, if you you lead a healthy home life, I suggest you er on the side of caution

before venturing into this exercise!

Spring is approaching. The sap is rising. I have needs. The damned thing under my nose may

not see Tweed Run!

Now, where did I put that cut throat razor?

Ride on!

Good afternoon gentlemen,

I too sir am currently cultivating a little top lip topiary for the afore mentioned Tweed Run, and as yourself experiencing resistance from the natives. In my minds eye I see myself cutting a dash in a similar vein to Terry Thomas, however I feel the reality is much more “Yosser Hughes”

With five weeks to go, will I achieve my goal of a moustache with graspable extremities, or will I crumble before the derision of my wife and colleagues? Will the look of fear in young children’s eyes prove too much as I walk past them in the street?

I hope the spirit of Terry will stand by my side and give me the strength to take the forthcoming derrogatory comments in my stride and immerge phoenix like on the 10th of April

All’s lost!

Well, almost.…. Memsaab kicked hell of a stink when I cornered her in the study today. Ultimatum. Tash or her.

Now resemble my usual clean shaven dashing self. Good lady now compliant.

She tipped the balance when she quoted said Terry Thomas’ famous line in ‘Schools for Scoundrels’.…… “Hard cheese!”.

Can once again practise the true meaning of one up-manship.…..

Ride on!

Gentlemen, am also engaged in this endeavour, but keep losing sight of the damned port glass and despoiling my white cravat. Will persevere.

Gentlemen, whist I appreciate that the “The Cycling Photogra” (sic) is a fallen comrade, I should offer my support to the un-seen fellows watching from afar and James.

 To date Mrs Adam is getting more reticent to touch me, although the purchase of a tube of “Bounder” moustache wax has piqued her interest regarding the aroma.

 From a personal point of view, of a morning I feel the need to sing “I Want to Break Free” as the razor nears my fizzog, and I feel my promotion prospects are disappearing quicker than I’m writing this missive at work.

 While I doubt I’ll achieve my goal of graspable extremities, I’m confidant that come April the hair on my face will be mine and attached.

What is that nice-looking ivory/cream coloured Pashley, 2nd from right in the “Pashleys at Tweed Run” photo on the cover of the website?

Me likes the look of it…

Bella!

Correct my dear James. Three speed ‘fixed’ Clubman Special. Apparently prices from £1,000.00 to £1,500.00.

Oh dear, I think a larger “bicycle garage” may be needed at Cotswold Heights!

Ride on!
